Nigerian govt approves 9,000 autogas filling stations after surge in fuel price

The Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology has revealed that the Federal Government has approved 9,000 licensed filling stations for the co-location of Compressed Natural Gas or autogas fuel dispensers.

Amid the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, rising to N500 per litre from N189, alternatives are being sought to cushion the pain of the surge in fuel price.

According to the institute in a communique reported on Sunday, there are 50 conversion centres currently upgrading for mass conversion.
